Memory Stick
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am on Xp home
I have a memory stick, which I have had about 6 months.
I used it the morning to print from, when I come to use it, tonight I cannot get in it.
It says the memory stick needs formatting
I have tried PC Inspector File recovery but all I can get out of it is "Boot Error"
Does anyone know software that will get me into this memory stick?
Or anyway of getting the data off the memory stick
Thanks

Have you tried it in another port or another computer?
Meanwhile, have a look at USB troubleshooting tips here http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbstick_e.html

Hi BurrWalnut
Thanks for the info, it tell me bags of things about Memory sticks, which I will keep but not what I wanted to know.
Yes I have tried it on another Computer, and no joy
Any other ideas

Here is my complete ‘arsenal’ of weapons dealing with USB (Universal Serial Bus aka Unreliable Serial Bus) problems. Some you may have tried, some overlap between not responding and not recognised and some may be irrelevant to your problem:
Have a look at USB troubleshooting tips here http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbstick_e.html
ERROR CODE 10 DEVICE CANNOT START
Have a look here http://www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml
USB NOT RESPONDING
1. Unplug all USB devices except hubs and, if you have them, the mouse and keyboard then boot Windows in Safe Mode (tap F8 at switch on).
2. Right-click My Computer > Properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager and look for everything in the USB Devices or Universal Serial Bus Controllers category then right-click and Uninstall them starting from the bottom (last one).
3. Restart the system and Windows will then re-install the USB controllers. Plug in your USB devices one at a time and they should be recognised properly. Note that some drivers may be needed if Windows can't find them in its own driver repository.
USB HDD NOT RECOGNISED
Not in any particularly logical sequence, here are a few things to try :
1. Right-click My Computer > Properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager to see if the drive shows up under ‘Disk drives‘. If so, right-click it > Properties > Policies Tab and check if you have a ‘Quick Removable’ check box. A USB external drive should have a check in this box. Reboot if you’ve changed anything.
2. Try restarting the computer with the USB drive already plugged in and powered up.
3. Try an ‘Autoplay’ repair, here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...amp;Hash=LJ6SCR
4. Right-click My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. If the disk is listed or hidden, right-click its graphic and change the drive letter to one nearer the end of the alphabet.
5. Control Panel > Add new hardware and let the wizard find it.
6. Check in Device Manager (expand USB) to see if you have Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller (exact wording). If so, right-click it and Disable it.

Hi BurrWalnut
I have tried http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbstick_e.html and
www.pchell.com/hardware/usbcode10.shtml
I used the memory stick in the morning to print from, and it would not work in the afternoon. I only use it between my friend's computer and mine. I tried it in my lap-top and it would not work, it as never been used with the lap-top before. The light comes on the memory stick, on both m/c. So the fault is with the memory stick.
I have tried PC inspector file recovery, Rawcopy, Roadkil's Unstoppable Coper.
The stick is given a drive E: so the computer knows it is there, but when I try to get in it the computer say's their is a boot error
Thanks
